Q

What are the 4 purposes of the UQ or LQ Scanning Examination component of the Systems Review?

A
  1. Identify major area(s) of involvement if patient/client cannot delineate.
  2. Eliminate confusing or conflicting information provided by the patient.
  3. Assist in delineating the source of the problem or complaint to a single area or region.
  4. Rule out referred pain or symptoms from another body system or region.

Q

If a patient says that they have both shoulder, elbow, and hand pain, under which purpose is the Scanning Examination component of the Systems Review helpful?

A
  1. Eliminate confusing or conflicting information provided by the patient.

We can use the Scanning Examination to determine if indeed movements or stresses apply to the shoulder, elbow, or hand indeed reproduce the patients systems.

Q

How is the Functional Movement Assessment of during the Observation component of the Scanning Examination important to a PT? (2)

A
  1. As PT’s we assess functional movement patterns through observation & determine the contribution of multiple body parts to the overall movement pattern.
  2. In addition to assessing movement pattern, can help delineate the possibility of Regional Interdependence.

Q

What is Regional Interdependence?

Q

A patient has a primary complaint of knee pain, we ask them to do a squat and we notice that they have restricted knee range of motion. If we follow the concept of Regional Interdependence, what might be find?

A

what we need to do know is look to see if they have normal movement in the hip, and normal movement in the foot and ankle. It could very well be that an impairment in hip movement or ankle movement, whether is be soft tissue or bony, is what actually is causing the restriction in knee range of motion, and is leading to the patients complaint of pain in the knee.
